Benchmarks Based on Org Size and Maturity

Benchmarks Based On Org Size & Maturity

Small teams need to benchmark their performance against an org with 5 engineers, not 5,000. In this year’s report, we outline the benchmarks and insights that apply to engineering teams based on their org size. See benchmarks for companies broken down by the following sizes:
Startups 0-100 employees
Scale-ups 100-1,000 employees
Enterprise 1,000+ employees
Investment Benchmarks

For the First Time: Investment Benchmarks

With investment metrics, leaders can see what percentage of their team’s time and resources are going toward different initiatives. With this visibility, engineering leaders can make strategic decisions around what work should be prioritized moving forward. See investment benchmarks broken down by the following resource allocations:
New value
Feature enhancements
Developer experience
